Plot
Mitali, a successful model, meets Karan, the Mittal scion, the heir to one of the richest families in the country. Even though Mitali‘s simple middle-class upbringing is a complete contrast to Karan's rich brat lifestyle, Karan is smitten by Mitali. Being accustomed to getting what he wants in life, Karan lands at Mitali's home with his parents with a marriage proposal. Delighted at their daughter's luck, Mitali's family approves the match and they get married.
It was not long before Mitali's dreams turned into her worst nightmare. Her mother-in-law started loathing her and became instrumental in creating misunderstandings between Karan and her. Karan turned out to be a puppet in his mother's hands and her father-in-law was nothing but a helpless, mute spectator. Karan has a certain pattern of dealing with women and wanted to subdue Mitali's independent frame of mind. He who was a loving husband was in fact a violent monster at night within the privacy of their bedroom. Unable to bear the humiliation and pain after she resisted his advances and being raped by him, Mitali decided to take charge of her life. She decided to fight back and walked out of her in-law's home. By hiring a lawyer and filing a case against her husband, she started her own battle against discrimination and domestic violence. Karan retaliated by hiring the best lawyer that money can buy to defend himself.
